Autonomous Turret wielding biped bot

Pay close attention. At roughly 36 seconds we see Asimov’s laws going out the window. We’re pretty sure we saw this little autonomous battle bot take a shot at a human. We can’t tell for sure, but it looked like it enjoyed it too.

This bot is being built by [xdream] to compete in the Mech Warfare section of the Robo Games 2010. His target acquisition system and firing are completely autonomous. We think his motion is controlled by an operator though.

This little fellow may seem harmless enough, until you realize that those servos and guns could be replaced and this “little guy” becomes that “big fella”. That’s not anything the maker suggested, we’re just pointing out that a killer robot is only cute when it’s small.

Am I the only one worried why they chose to target pink things? I mean, it’s just a few steps until our robot overlords revolt and assume their dominance over humanity. First targeting “pink things” then calling us meatbags and before you know it we’ll be their slaves!

Am I the only one to notice that this is fake? Look very carefully at the video and you will see several frames where the pellet comes from a high downward tragectery from behind the robot. Someone off camera was popping the target with an airsoft gun…….lame!

@Rpeach, I dont think that it is fake. You are seeing the ricochet from missed pellets. I saw it too. Sometimes the bot misses and the pellets go off at a 45 degree angle away from the target, not towards it.
